UNITED STATES PAT JOHANN HERMANN WALTER GEBLER, OF PIRNA, GERMANY.

PROCESS OF MANUFACTURING SHEET-IRON VEESELS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

' atented Jan. 21, 1908.

Application filed December 20. 1905. Serial No: zeaeoa To all whom it may concern.

Be it known that I, JOHANN HERMANN' WALTER GEBLER, a citizen of the Empire of Germany, residing in- Pirna, in the Kingdom of Saxony and Empire of Germany, have invented certain new and useful Im rovements in Processes of Manufacturing beet-- Iron Vessels, of which the'fpllowing is a specification.

This invention relates to the manufacture of sheet-iron vessels provided with spoutswhich are united thereto by means of the siponding parts in the different figures of the oxyhydrogen flame, so that no protruding seams are formed, and the invention relates more specifically to the manufacture of sheet-' iron vessels which are to be coated by enamel, The object ofthis invention is to form the connection between sheet-metal vessels and spouts in such a manner that no' projecting seams, either towards the inside or outside,

are formed and that they have the appearanee as if they were made from one integral piece of sheet-metal, wherebynot only the;

appearance of the vessels is greatly im proved, but also the disadvantages connected with the ennrneling of the same are entirely obviated. s.

The novel features of the process-will be hereinafter described and claimed. I In the accorn anying drawings, Figure 1 represents a site-elevation of a sheet-iron vessel, showing its connection with its spout, Fig. 2'is' a plan-view of Fig. 1, F1 3 is a side-elevation of a ,sheet-ronyvesse with a lip-shaped spout, and Fig. 4 is a plan-view '0 Fig.3; q

'Similar letters of reference indicate correawing's Q" i 7 Referg' in t the drawid ,A represents a sheet mel, selwhlchis rawn inone integral piece by any'known process. At the point where the spout-B is to be attached to the vessel an opening 0 is forn1ed,which corre-. sponds in size and shape to the sha e of the lowenend of the spout to be joine thereto,

The ed e a, a of the opening 0 is slightly bent- .up so t at it fits exactly to the adjacent edge' 1; oithespout B. The edges a,a.and h, b are dip-shaped spout vB which is united by a' seamless Weld-joint, in the same manner, to the body of the vessel A the body being provided, in this case, with a recess at its upper edge, to the edges of which recess the lip-spout is Welded. After the joint has been formed in the manner described, thevessel is enameled.

The advantages of the iron vessels are, firstly, that the spouts are attached to the same by'a weld-oint,-without diflioulty, by the well-known or hydrogen fiaine; secondly, that bythevieh -joint between. the vessel andfsp'out a smooth and pleasing ap earance isrnparted the vessels after t ey are enameled; thirdly, that by the seamless connection vessels amt,

hollow enameled-ware is obtained,

Having thus described my invention, 1

claim as newand desire to secure by Letters Patent:

improved sheetspouts a new, durable and attractive line of The process of manufacturing sheet-droid vessels, which consists in bending up the edge of the opening in, the body of the vessel to which the spout is (to be applied, placing theedge of the spout against edge of' said opening and in direct nlinernent therewith, uniting the parts by subjecting them to theaction of an oxyh drogen flame, and then enaineling the vesse p In testimony, that claim the foregoing as my invention, I have signed my name in presence of two subscribing JOHAN-N iiERlllANii WALTER Witnesses:
